Chapter 101 "Lu Yu...I...will never love you again in this life."
"Wait a minute!" Lu Chi suddenly interrupted the answer that Lu Yu almost blurted out, and he turned around with a sarcastic smile.
"I almost got fooled by you, brother." Lu Chi sneered, "Deep affection? Or just a pretense? Trying to trick me? Ha!"
He suddenly waved his finger at Lu Yu and said, "Handcuff him for me."
Lu Yu did not resist and let his hands be handcuffed. He stood there silently waiting for Lu Chi to go crazy.
"Go and bring Lin Che to me." When Lu Chi said this, his eyes were still fixed on Lu Yu, observing his reaction when he heard Lin Che's name.
It was 28 hours later that Lu Yu saw Lin Che again.
He lowered his head and walked in silently as Lu Chi held his clothes. His body was forcibly pulled, and the dizziness and pain brought by the drug instantly doubled. He could hardly stand and could only let Lu Chi hold him in front of him like dragging a rag doll.
Lu Chi's blood-stained hand tightly gripped Lin Che's neck, and a knife appeared in his other hand.
The cold blade pressed firmly against the fragile artery on the side of Lin Che's neck. The two stopped about two meters away from Lu Yu.
The drugs made Lin Che's consciousness very low, sometimes lucid and sometimes confused. He walked unsteadily and let Lu Chi hold him hostage.
Lu Yu, who was standing not far away, was pinned to the ground by two men in black. His eyes had never left Lin Che since he stepped in.
Lin Che's neck was covered in hideous purple finger marks, and the corners of his mouth were covered in dried and fresh blood. His clothes, soaked with sweat and blood, clung to his body, outlining his thin and fragile figure.
There was also the back of his hand, bitten to a bloody mess, and that face, flushed with sickly blood, with his eyes blurred and vacant, yet still clinging to the last shred of dignity...
Every look Lu Yu gave Lin Che was like a red-hot blunt knife, repeatedly cutting and grinding Lu Yu's heart.
"Let him go." Lu Yu's gaze finally fixed on Lin Che's eyes, which were blurred by sweat and physiological tears, but still tried to focus on him.
"Let him go? Hahaha..." Lu Chi laughed nervously, his laughter was sharp and piercing, echoing in the dead silent room, "Brother! Do you think I'm a fool?! If I let him go, will you let me go? You'll tear me into pieces and feed me to the dogs!"
Lu Yu's laughter stopped abruptly, and his face instantly changed into a twisted expression mixed with resentment and grievance.
"When I was seven years old! I was only seven! I accidentally killed the vicious dog that bit my neighbor Uncle Wang! Grandpa didn't say anything to me! But what about you?! You made me kneel on the cold concrete floor for a whole day and night! My knees were rotten! All for a beast!"
"When I was sixteen, that bitch clearly came to me on her own. My dad gave her family over three million! It's enough for their whole family to have food and clothing for several lifetimes! But what about you?! You still think I'm wrong! You almost sent me to jail! For an unrelated outsider!"
Lu Chi became increasingly agitated as he spoke, his hand around Lin Che's neck shaking excitedly. The blade of his knife drew another line of blood on Lin Che's fragile skin. "Brother! How can you be so cruel?! Huh?! To a dog! To a bitch! You're more merciful than to me! Why?!"
He stared at Lu Yu with bloodshot eyes, and suddenly lowered his voice, "Brother, are you scared? Afraid that I will stab him to death right now? Huh?"
Lu Chi deliberately tapped the artery on the side of Lin Che's neck with the tip of his knife, and watched with satisfaction as Lu Yu's handcuffed body instantly tensed up. The bottomless silence in his eyes was finally torn apart, revealing the surging violence underneath that was enough to burn everything.
"Like this..." Lu Chi's mouth twisted into an extremely twisted smile, his voice like a devil's whisper, "Kneel down... Kneel down and say to me, 'Xiao Chi, brother loves you'... or..."
He suddenly turned his gaze to one of his men next to him and shouted, "Give him a knife!"
A sharp dagger with a long and narrow blade that flashed with cold light was thrown on the carpet at Lu Yu's feet.
Lu Chi's eyes were fixed on Lu Yu, and he asked Lu Yu to make a choice word by word. "Or you can take this knife... and stab Lin Che with it!"
He admired Lu Yu's expression, which suddenly changed dramatically. His smile became even more twisted and crazy, with a childlike innocent cruelty and pleading:
"As long as you choose one thing... just one thing! I will forgive you completely! Really! Brother! I mean what I say! Okay, brother?"
The only sounds in the room were Lu Chi's heavy, disordered breathing and Lin Che's uncontrollable, painful sobs, tortured by the effects of the drugs.
With his hands handcuffed, Lu Yu lowered his head in thought. In front of him was Lu Chi's crazy and distorted face and his lover struggling in pain with a knife against his neck.
Time crawls by second by second, and every second seems like torture.
Every time Lin Che groaned in pain, it seemed as if blood was trampling over Lu Yu's heart.
Lu Yu's gaze slowly lifted from the cold dagger at his feet, and his entire attention was focused on Lin Che's face.
Lin Che's consciousness was swirling in the torrent of the drug, and all his words and pain became dull.
But he heard that choice.
That was an extremely cruel choice.
He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, his dilated pupils straining to focus, and finally caught sight of Lu Yu. He saw his handcuffed hands and the gleaming knife at his feet.
At that moment, Lin Che's mind, which was in a state of confusion due to the burning of drugs, flashed through an extremely clear and desperate thought: Don't kneel... Lu Yu... Don't kneel...
He suddenly struggled desperately, and Lu Chi didn't have time to put away the knife in his hand, and accidentally cut a big hole in his neck.
"Are you fucking...crazy?" Lu Chi stared at Lin Che's bloody neck, his eyes filled with rage.
"No...no...don't, Lu...Yu...I beg you not to..."
Lin Che didn't shed a single tear when he was bullied by Lu Chi, but when he saw Lu Yu slightly bending his knees to kneel down, big tears rolled down his eyes.
"If you...if you...if you...dare to kneel...I will never...never love you in this life!"
Lu Yu watched Lin Che's tears rolling down his cheeks. His heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, causing him to feel so painful that he could hardly breathe.
"Don't cry, don't cry, Lin Che." He whispered hoarsely with a bloody smell, "Baby, please, don't cry..."
Lu Yu's eyes, which were always as calm as a deep pool, were now surging with raging waves that could destroy everything, but were forcibly suppressed to the brink of breaking.
Lu Chi looked at the bottomless pain and signs of impending collapse in Lu Yu's eyes, and the twisted pleasure almost overwhelmed his mind.
He tightened his grip on Lin Che's neck, pressing the blade threateningly towards the fresh wound once again, irritating Lu Yu's nerves. "Choose quickly, brother! Kneel down and declare your love for me, or stab him with your own hands? Hmm? Your lover can't wait any longer. Look how much blood he's shed..."
Under the double pressure of Lu Chi's devilish urging and Lin Che's miserable and desperate appearance in front of him, Lu Yu's body seemed to have lost its support.
He bent one knee slightly and fell down with the heavy weight of humiliation - he chose to kneel.
In order to give Lin Che a chance to survive, he was willing to crush all his dignity.
Just when Lu Yu's knees were about to touch the cold ground——
Lin Che raised his head in despair, tears scalding in his eyes, mixed with blood, leaving a pathetic trail on his pale cheeks. His gaze pierced through the chaotic air and accurately struck Lu Yu's eyes.
In that second, time was infinitely stretched, like a cruel slow motion.
A shuddering sound of flesh being cut was heard.
Lu Chi felt a splatter of hot, sticky liquid covering his face, and the strong smell of blood rushed into his nose. He opened his eyes in horror, and his vision was covered in a glaring scarlet.
The huge impact and the strange touch on his hand made his mind go blank, and the hand holding the knife suddenly loosened as if it was burned.
"Clang!" The blood-stained dagger fell to the ground, making a dull sound as it hit the carpet.
Lu Chi was completely stunned. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his face, and his hands were covered with warm, Lin Che's blood.
He looked at Lin Che in his arms, who had instantly lost all his strength and whose body was as soft as if all his bones had been pulled out. He also looked at the huge, hideous wound on the side of his neck that was gushing out blood crazily. An unprecedented, cold fear gripped him.
"No...no..." Lu Chi murmured unconsciously, his voice trembling without him even noticing.
He subconsciously tried to cover the horrible wound with his hand, but the blood instantly dyed his palm red and showed no signs of stopping.
"Bang!!!"
A deafening bang suddenly exploded behind Lu Chi, and the heavy wooden door shattered and deformed in an instant.
A blinding white light and thick smoke of tear gas instantly flooded into the room.
"Freeze! Police!"
"Drop your weapons! Get down!"
Lu Chi didn't even have time to react before he felt a massive force slam into him from the side. He was thrown to the ground like a broken sack, his face slamming hard onto the cold carpet. The smell of blood and dust filled his nostrils.
Then the cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against the back of his head, his knees and arms were locked tightly by the joints, and he instantly lost all ability to resist.
The last thing he saw before he fell to the ground was Lu Yu's figure hugging Lin Che tightly at the edge of his vision.
"Cough...uh!" The two men in black who were holding Lu Yu down choked and coughed painfully under the stimulation of tear gas, and subconsciously let go of their hands to cover their faces, but they only did half of the action.
Two special police officers rushed over like shadows, and with a quick and decisive grab and heavy pressure, they pinned them to the ground in an instant. The cold metal handcuffs clasped their wrists with a "click".
In the chaos, someone quickly stepped forward and tried to control Lu Yu who was kneeling on the ground.
"Don't touch me! Save him! Save him!" Lu Yu suddenly raised his head and roared, his voice completely broken. He held Lin Che tightly with both hands, his handcuffed hands still desperately pressing on the terrible wound, blood staining his entire chest red.
"Lu Yu! Calm down! We are here to save people!"
"Medical team! Quick! Over here! Severe carotid artery trauma! Hemorrhagic shock! Weak vital signs!" The special police officer who controlled Lu Yu immediately yelled into the communicator, while quickly checking Lin Che's condition with a serious expression.
Lu Chi was pinned to the ground, his face pressed against the cold carpet. He could only see the busy legs and feet of the medical staff and the glaring red that was rapidly spreading on the ground and could not be absorbed by the hemostatic gauze.
"Brother... you're bleeding..." He muttered, his eyes empty, his face stained with a mixture of Lin Che's and his own blood. He was like a lost child mumbling, completely unable to comprehend the disaster before his eyes that he had ignited with his own hands but had completely lost control and destroyed.
He thought he was in control of everything, but in the end he lost everything. Even the "brother's love" that he had longed for twistedly sank completely in this sea of blood, leaving no trace.
The piercing sirens of an ambulance approached from afar. Medical staff carefully secured Lin Che on a stretcher and quickly transferred him outside under the escort of special police. Lin Che lay lifeless, his life threatening to end at any moment.
The room was in a mess, with only the strong smell of blood and the pungent smell of tear gas remaining.
Lu Chi's eyes were completely out of focus. He was like a broken doll with its soul drained out, and was dragged up roughly by the special police.
The last thing he saw was Lin Che's hand hanging on the stretcher, pale and cold, with clotted blood still on his fingertips.
as well as--
Lu Yu could no longer hold on and fell to the ground vomiting blood.
